VISIT TO NOGAL.

Three and four years ago, 1t was
our wont to visit Nogal frequently,
but for over year past, our visits
have been briet and intermittent.
OF late. however, Nogal" has
been thrown fir, IN off OF every
tongue SO frequently that we con
cluded to present ourself there and
investigate for 0urselt. Accord
ingly, on last Sunday morning we
accey ted an invitation from w. +.
Anderson, Esq, o; Roswell, to ac-
company him to the new Ell Dora
do. and arriving there, fright side
up with care about noon, we were
received and receipted for by Capt.

day was not one ON which to in
quire especially as to mineral finds,
Transfers, &c.. So we prregrinated
10 view the meets and bounds OF
the new town Of Nogal, which, has
been laid ont on 320 acres OF
ground, commencing imediately
north of llenley's property, (late
Nat Moore's). The new town has
been surveyed, streets and avenues,
| (the center one will bs known as
Henley Avenuel, ana some lots
have been already located, and
blocks blocked out, and taken i'll.
But we will permit our Nogal cor
respondent t. tell particulars,
which he does as follows:
-
g. A town site will be laid off at
Nogal IN accordance with law.
This enterprise is backed by men
who mean business, and meets the
hearty appreciation of all the resi-
dents, besides having the moral
support and material aid OF good
men all over the country. Nogal
has the resources to support Il
good town, and the location is one
of the most beautiful in New Mex

Building up Nogal will not tear
down other towns, but indirectly
benefit the whole country, and il
there are u few malicious meddlers

ment of our camp, they will learn

Shelly and Harriet Westbrook

McMillan's Magazine.
Shelly behaved exceedingly i'll to
Harriet WestbroOk. Nobody can deny
that: he didn't himself. He undoubt-
edlv suffered remorse for his conduct,
in spite of a sentence or two of bravadO:
and he felt himself to have been, as he
undoubtedly was, the cause of the I'M
happy girls ultimate suicide. Wei, what
more, in the name of common sense and
common decency, is to be made of the
story? Suppose Harriet, though beau
tiful, amiable, good, accommodating
and affectiOnate," was "alsO-deadly
and at last unavoidable discovery
commonplace?'' Suppose it is the fact,
that as Shelly himself said, the partner
ct his life ought to have been one who
could feel poetry and understand phil
osophv," and that Harriet, though a
noble animal, could do neither?" Sup
pose that Shelly, to quote a delicious
sentence of Mr.. w. NJ. Rosseti's,
must. no doubt, have regarded the
latter career" of the fOrlOrn and de-
serted woman as marked by great want
of self-respect, and may have both felt
and expressed himself strongly now and
again without derogating from the sub
stantial rectitude and tenderness of his
nature-still, what then? Is it, there
fore, worth while to give US endless
studies" and biographies full of sol
emn disquisition on these threadbare
scandals?
